Location
Hoenn Slateport City Map.png
Location of Slateport City in Hoenn.

Slateport City (Japanese: カイナシティ Kaina City) is a port town on the southern coast of Hoenn. It is the ninth largest city in the Pokémon world.

Slateport was created because the clean water made the food abundant in the area, so a local market started to grow. The city then soon became a harbor where ships and boats come and go. There is a lighthouse near the south of Slateport that illuminates the sea for passing ships. It is a great shopping destination with a local Slateport Market. Captain Stern is a big name in Slateport. He is an undersea explorer who runs Stern's Shipyard, the local Oceanic Museum and also working on the S.S. Tidal which runs in and out of Slateport City after its completion.

The city has three major entrances, one from the north of Slateport City is Route 110, which has a bicycle route as well as a path to Mauville City, one that is directly south of the city is the beach of Route 109, and one that is east of the city is the ocean path of Route 134, but the water's current is too strong to Surf east.

Slogan

The port where people and Pokémon cross paths. (Japanese: ヒトと ポケモンが いきかう みなと The port where people and Pokémon cross paths.)

Description

The Slateport Market is an open-air bazaar featuring items that cannot be easily found anywhere else. The Slateport Market has been in business since the creation of Slateport City itself as the clean water made the food abundant in the area, so a local market started to grow. The Slateport Market is situated next to the ocean, so the scent of the salty sea seeps through the air. There is a place to buy Secret Base decorations, vitamins, IncenseORAS, and fresh seaweed there.

Oceanic Museum

Main article: Oceanic Museum

The Oceanic Museum is a large two-floored museum located in the eastern district of Slateport. The museum was built by Captain Stern to teach others of the ocean and the ocean floor. There is a $50 entrance fee which must be paid upon entry. The first floor contains information about the sea. There are seven exhibits, each with a different piece of information about the sea. On the western wing, there are experiments and displays involving Whirlpools, Waterfalls, buoyancy, and fossilization. While, on the eastern wing, there are displays and samples of ancient beach sand, and old sedimentary rocks, as well as fun facts about the sea. On the second floor, there are nine more exhibits, which include models of the Hoenn region and the ship S.S. Anne. The museum can be entered free of charge before Team Magma or Team Aqua leave, as the reception believes that the player is part of their group. However, it only works if he/she lacks the money needed for the $50 fee, which will prompt the receptionist to believe that the player is part of either Team Magma or Team Aqua.

Pokémon Fan Club

Main article: Pokémon Fan Club

Slateport is the home to the headquarters for the Hoenn branch of the Pokémon Fan Club. The Fan Club is basically a place for people to meet and chat about their favorite Pokémon and to show off their collections to each other. In general, the members are usually more oriented to unevolved, cute Pokémon and Pokémon Contests than Pokémon battles. The people in the Fan Club adore their Pokémon and give friendly advice. One of the women in the fan club will give away a Soothe Bell if the player's Pokémon has a high happiness. In Emerald, people show off their Pokémon in Contests because the Pokémon Contest hall in Lilycove City is too far to travel. Gabby and Ty often visit the Club House in Hoenn to do interviews with enthusiastic Trainers. In Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, a Pokémon Breeder can trim Furfrou for $500.

Trainers of the Poké Fan Trainer class are members of the Pokémon Fan Club. The Hoenn Pokémon Fan Club Chairman sits in the center of the club house. He claims to have raised over 100 different Pokémon in his lifetime. He travels across the nation on his Fearow.

In Pokémon Emerald, here is a tutor who will teach a compatible Pokémon Swagger one time only.

Stern's Shipyard

Main article: Stern's Shipyard

Stern's Shipyard is a building owned by Captain Stern. Stern's Shipyard is a large brown building located next to the ocean. In front of the building are two houses, and around the building are three small wooden boats. It is located in the eastern part of Slateport City, and is where the S.S. Tidal was constructed. The Shipyard also takes old boats and sinks them, to make habitats for the Pokémon who live around the city and its neighboring beaches.

Slateport Harbor

The Harbor is located at the northeast of Slateport. This is where Captain Stern can be found most of the time, trading the Scanner for a DeepSeaScale or DeepSeaTooth. Events such as the stealing of Submarine Explorer 1 by Team AquaSEAS/Team MagmaROR take place there. After entering the Hall of Fame, Captain Stern is here, asking the player to go on a cruise on the S.S. Tidal.

Vending Machine

In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, there is a Vending Machine at the back of the harbor building.


Name Rater

Main article: Name Rater

The Name Rater of Hoenn lives in northern district of Slateport City. As always, he allows Trainers to change the nickname of any Pokémon they captured or received in-game. Those traded from outside sources will not be able to be renamed. If the Pokémon was caught by the player that currently owns it, he'll say that the name could be better and offer the player the option of changing it. If the Pokémon he's judging was obtained via a trade, he will say that the name is perfect and refuse to change it. However, if both players have identical Trainer IDs and secret IDs, he will allow name changes.

Pokémon Contest Hall

The Hyper Rank Pokémon Contest is located in Slateport. Only Pokémon who have beaten the Super Rank can perform here. It is replaced by the Battle Tent in Emerald. Contest entries of all ranks are unrestricted in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire.

Battle Tent

Main article: Battle Tent

The Battle Tent can only be found in Pokémon Emerald. It is one of the three Battle Tents found in Emerald. Entrants pick out three Pokémon from a list of 6 random rentals, all at level 30. Then, three Trainers battle, having a chance after each battle to possibly trade a Pokémon for one from the person that was just defeated.

Beach

The beach is the first section of Slateport City that the player explores and disembarks Mr. Briney's ship here as part of the storyline. There are many Tubers here, hiding under umbrellas and waiting for a battle. In the house on the west side of the beach, a man inside will offer six bottles of Soda Pop once all the Trainers in the room are defeated.

Demographics

Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire

In Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, the population of Slateport City is 76, making it the second largest city in Hoenn, behind Lilycove City. Slateport City's high population can be attributed to a number of factors, such as its market, beach, and shipyard.

Pokémon Emerald

In Pokémon Emerald, the population of Slateport City is 60, making it the third largest city in Hoenn after the cities of Lilycove and Rustboro.

Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire

In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, Slateport City has a total population of 79, making it the third largest city in Hoenn after the cities of Mauville and Lilycove.

In the anime

Slateport City

In the Pokémon anime, Slateport City is a large city on a cliff overlooking the ocean. It is also the hometown of Harley, one of May's rivals. Ash and his friends arrived in Slateport in Now That's Flower Power!, where May met Drew while practicing for the Slateport City Pokémon Contest with her Beautifly at the beach.

The Slateport Contest took place in Win, Lose or Drew!. May was very nervous as it was her first time competing in a Pokémon Contest, while contestants such as Drew and Robert were more relaxed. In the Appeals Round, Drew did a very good job at showcasing his Roselia's style and skill, earning a high score from the panel of judges. Robert also managed to captivate the judges' attention with his Milotic, delivering a performance that received a perfect score.

Later, when May was called on stage, her nervousness got the best of her and she fell down to the ground when she was about to call out her Beautifly. Vivian helped her to get up and May kicked things off by throwing a flying disc up in the air so Beautifly could use String Shot on it and send it back to her. After that, Beautifly created a giant tornado with its Silver Wind attack. Despite May's shaky start, the judges felt her performance was impressive enough and she was among the Coordinators moving on to the Contest Battles along with Drew and Robert.

After the list of contestants was randomly shuffled, the match-ups for the second round were determined, revealing that May would face off against Drew in the first match. May was determined to beat her rival, but her lack of experience caused her downfall as Beautifly was subdued by Roselia's powerful Solar Beam. With Beautifly unable to continue battling, the judges called Battle Off and declared Drew as the winner. Afterwards, Drew and his Roselia went up against Robert and his Milotic in the semifinals. Despite Drew's efforts, Robert easily defeated him and proceeded to the finals, where he once again emerged victorious, earning the coveted Slateport Ribbon.

In The Spheal of Approval, Ash and Max visited the Oceanic Museum and met Captain Stern, but they were caught in an attack by Team Magma.

Slateport City is also the location of the Hoenn Grand Festival in the anime, and was revisited from Hi Ho Silver Wind! to Rhapsody in Drew.

Trivia

  • As Hoenn coincides with Kyushu, Slateport coincides with Nagasaki's location.
